Key result
Surgical angioplasty for isolated coronary ostial stenosis resulted in 3 deaths among 24 patients, with 18 remaining symptom-free and repeat angiography showing widely patent ostia in most cases.

Does surgical angioplasty improve outcomes in patients with isolated coronary ostial stenosis?
Surgical angioplasty is a feasible alternative to CABG for isolated coronary ostial stenosis, but carries a risk of developing or worsening postoperative aortic regurgitation.
Moon et al. (1999) conducted an observational in Isolated coronary ostial stenosis (n=24). Surgical angioplasty was evaluated on Mortality and angiographic patency. Surgical angioplasty for isolated coronary ostial stenosis resulted in 3 deaths among 24 patients, with 18 remaining symptom-free and repeat angiography showing widely patent ostia in most cases.
